Almost four years ago, McAfee embarked in the transition towards microservices. They needed an API platform that could integrate with a very complex infrastructure built using multiple languages and methodologies. Additionally, they required this solution to be able to scale or contract with services, and the team to be able to integrate and build custom capabilities on top of it.

Kong is now a critical element of McAfee’s infrastructure, enabling its microservices journey and supporting it as it becomes the largest cyber security solutions provider across the globe.

During its journey, the team at McAfee identified three challenges that are common to microservices architectures. Marcelo da Cruz Pinto, Principal Engineer at McAfee, shares the strategies he implemented to manage and minimize these challenges.

Adoption of bug bounty programs has doubled in the past 3 years, shining a light on crowdsourced security testing options. The bug bounty model, which incentivizes a crowd of creative hackers to probe organizations’ digital assets for exploitable vulnerabilities, has proven quite effective. However, not all crowdsourced testing programs are equal. All programs crowdsource hackers, most incorporate levels of controls for trust and accountability, and some use testing data to help break down testing coverage levels and risk management.

Join this webinar to learn:
- Why crowdsourcing hackers and bug bounty is trending
- Who these crowdsourced hackers are and what they do
- Where crowdsourced security programs differ
- How to decide what crowdsourced programs best fit your organization
- Where the future of crowdsourced security is heading

Bots, artificial intelligence, and messaging — cost-effective, easy-to-implement automation technology —- is gaining a major foothold in customer service organizations, and the impact is palpable. Contact centers are on track to shrink by 50 percent in the next three years as routine tasks are taken over by faster, efficiency-saving bots that can triage requests, boost customer satisfaction, and offer an 8.6 percent increase in profit margin per customer.

These technologies are also making it easy to tap into the gig economy, which is producing a growing supply of tech-savvy labor for companies that also saves costs. For workers, it means flexible arrangements with low barriers to entry, plus more satisfying employment, now that the grunt work has been eliminated by automation.

AI and automation is set to level up the workforce, the economy, and your bottom line. For a closer look at the long-term implications of automation, how to invest in the brave new world of work, and more, don’t miss this VB Live event!

If you deliver content over the internet to a global audience and care about performance, you're likely using a content delivery network. CDN is a popular use case for advertising, media, online gaming, commerce, mobile, healthcare, even government and education because users can access web pages and apps much faster. What you may not know is most major CDN providers use NGINX under the hood. Commercial CDN services can be expensive to scale, limited in fine-grain control and customization, and offer fewer performance optimizations that you would want. If your enterprise CDN bill is astronomically high, and you need more control and customizations, it will be more cost effective to build your own. In this webinar you'll see how one NGINX customer saved $4M in the first year alone, when they replaced a commercial CDN provider with an NGINX Plus deployment.

Watch this webinar to learn how a CDN works, when it makes sense to build your own CDN, and jump into a technical deep dive on how a CDN solution performs with NGINX Plus, with performance comparisons and a live demo.

Organizations that manage a shift-based (and hourly) workforce must contend with complex scheduling rules including labor laws and labor agreements. With more states and even cities supplementing US Labor laws, it can be difficult to keep up with all the changes. Many of these laws impact overtime pay, required break periods, and employee rights around a more predictable schedule–which can significantly increase your labor costs. By understanding labor laws, you can create better employee schedules, reduce overtime, and ensure compliance.

In this webinar, you will learn:
• What is driving changes to labor laws in states and cities across the US
• What are the key labor laws that affect employee scheduling
• How technology can help you automate and create better schedules

We will also provide some practical examples to help you understand the complexity of California, Washington, Seattle, and San Francisco labor laws. These same examples are often found in collective bargaining agreements (CBAs).

As digital transformation and cloud adoption gathers pace, organisations are placing more and more applications and data into the cloud. Users are increasing mobile and are accessing rich cloud applications whilst on the move, going straight to the internet, often by-passing the corporate VPN. This new reality is leading organisations to rethink their approach to security, essentially doing away with the idea of a trusted corporate network — a shift in thinking that affects every level of IT. The traditional security model of 'castle and moat', placing security technology in the corporate data centre is no longer effective in a cloud first world. During this live webcast, experts from KMPG and Zscaler will examine the impact of cloud adoption and mobility on security strategy, network structure, legal & regulatory and user connectivity. They will highlight the business impact digital transformation has on IT and provide real examples of how some large and complex organisations are successfully moving to the cloud and dealing with mobility - securely
